Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall were presented with heraldic masks to wear, the Duchess's with a silver elephant on it and the Prince's with a tiger.

The event was held to raise money for the Elephant Family, a charity co-founded by Camilla's brother, the conservationist and writer Mark Shand, 62.

Since its launch in 2002, the charity has invested more than £6 million in conservation projects across Asia, working to secure elephant and wildlife habitats and highlighting the animals' plight.

As well as the supermodel Cara Delevingne. and her sister Poppy, also a model, guests included the painter Jack Vettriano who was auctioning off a work, Jerry Hall, Imran Khan, Jools Holland, racing legend Jackie Stewart and the actor Rupert Everett.
